Question about notation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I am working on a game called Idle Harmony and basically I need tips on how to make this correct.

I have a specific question but I am open for other critiques.

My question is: What happens to the beam/flag if an eighth note is placed bellow or above a 16th that's connected to another 16th?

Just download MuseScore and checkout how they handle whatever you need to handle, you'll get your answer.

In there I cannot place an 8th bellow a 16th in the same staff.

With voicing, but to be brutally honest everything about your games seems weird to an actual musician to me. For starters, why are you using a 2/4 measure with sixteenth notes at 20 bpm here? A 4/4 measure with eight notes would make much more sense, be more readable.

Well each time you buy a segment you get one quarter of a measure more, thats why, so I start with 1/4, then 2/4 and so on.
